October 28th at 10:00pm / Gizmodo / 0 opinions500px: 500px is like Flickr, if Flickr filtered all the crappy photos that the bulk of their users sometimes post and distilled it into true art photography. So it's a place where really good photographers can store their pictures in polished portfolios for other really good photographers (or just other people) to see them. It's an elite social network for photogs, basically. The iPad app is an extension of their web site, you can browse popular pictures, see editors picks, new pictures, your pictures,...
